Band Statment:âAll can say is that we are excited to be part of the Pure Legend Records roster worldwideâ, states LIGHTNING STRIKES founder/drummer, Karpis Maksudian. âI think Pure Legend know the market very well and the people at the label will work hard to get âLighting Strikesâ the attention it deserves and needs. We canât wait to get this album out to all the metal heads who appreciate classic heavy metal.â

Bandstatment Karpis Maksudian:âWe are extremely proud to have Tony on the albumâ, states LIGHTNING STRIKES founder/drummer, Karpis Maksudian. âTony and I got acquainted a few years ago through a video project I directed for another band he was involved with. When I asked him if heâd guest on a couple of songs he graciously said yes. Not only did he agree to contribute vocals, he was fully involved in the creative process and wrote lyrics and melodies as well. I think anybody that loves Tonyâs work with Sabbath will like âDeath Valleyâ, too.â
